If you aren't a fan of fitness classes, you can now stream yogis and practice yoga at home. While some people might already be doing this with help from [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-bike) or DVD programs, Yoogaia lets anyone with a webcam join a virtual yoga class and receive feedback. This perfectly combines the class concept with at-home comfort.

Based in Finland, Yoogaia provides expert-led interactive classes in yoga instruction as well as [pilates, core and kettle bell sessions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heated-reformer-class). For one week members pay 10 euros or 70 euros for a year-long membership. An online schedule is available for your perusal. If you miss a live session, recordings are also available so you can still do yoga at home. In addition to Finland, you can stream classes in Hong Kong, America and the UK.
